Join Us For Our May Day Celebration – April 27th, 2014

Waldorf Sarasota will once again celebrate the tradition of May Day, a festival commemorating the return of Spring!

In ancient traditions, the lovely festival of May Day marks what is considered the first day of summer in Celtic lands, and also is connected to Flora, the Roman goddess of spring. The Maypole itself is a representation of the tree of life.

Typically, there is a large Maypole with flowers on the top and ribbons hanging from it to weave in and out with skipping songs and dances. We all join hands and hearts around the Maypole to festive live music and rejoice in all of life’s awakenings!

Families lay blankets down and join others to share picnics and treats at the dessert table. Children’s games, May Day crafting and a blessing of our children’s garden are woven throughout the festivities!
